March 13 Thursday – Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam about Andrew Carnegie’s possible next book being awarded them. Hall had sent a set of Carnegie’s current works express to Sam. Blakely Hall of the N.Y. Sun had been in asking about the typesetter; Hall told him that was separate from the publishing business and referred him to Sam. He also enclosed a promissory note for Sam to sign [MTP].

Daniel Whitford wrote to Sam  (TS of Frohman to Whitford Mar. 12 encl.). “I send you a copy of a letter which I have received from Mr. Frohman — He evidently lost his head from fear that the play might be stopped.” Frohman’s short note explained he had to refund all the money paid to Sam and that he’d stopped payment on the last check [MTP].
